     I hope that is real comfortable for the work (and probably money) you are putting into it.  You should make the gas tank lid into a beverage holder.

Im getting paid to do it ;) customer wants it for a game room and its pretty comfy chair is fully working, slide, tilt, and I've wired it up for lumbar controls. Also under the gas lit will be controlls and head light switch

You should make it so you can flip the gas door open for a cup holder.

That what we were gonna do. I ran a cable to it so you can pop it open from under the seat. The guy wanted the switches for the head lights in there though. Kinda a weird spot to put cups as far as being able to reach them comfortably

Thats true. From a quick glance it looks like a good place for a beer (or maybe soda in this case?).
